Over the weekend, the Arizona Cardinals agreed to trade away their former top pick, Marvin Harrison Jr., after just two complete seasons. He was sent away to the Houston Texans, and the hope is that it can restart his career, but history tells us that is not going to be an easy task.
Part of that history has ties to a former Cleveland Brown.
Check the Mic's Sam Monson shared the graphic that was shown on the broadcast of the Arizona Cardinals matchup with the Detroit Lions. It showed the company of players that Harrison Jr. is now with after being traded, after being a top-five pick within his first three years.
Within that company was former Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson.

Richardson was traded, and it was a shocker at the time, given the year he was coming off of. As a rookie, Richardson had just under 1,000 yards and scored an impressive 11 rushing touchdowns. When he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts, it was seen as a game-changer, but he never was able to find that spark again he had as a rookie with the Browns.
History is against Harrison Jr., but that doesn't mean he can't make his own.
